Weight
3.3 lb (1.5 kg)Airfree Lotus design is unique in many ways. the 7.7 x 13 x 7.7 dimension is unlike most Airfree models even though weight is consistent at 3.3 lb. Inspired by the mysticism of Lotus flower, the color light that will beam up like flower petals. Great for home decor or as a night light for children. Air inlet is located at the bottom air convection while air outlet is at top. Carrying around the air purifier is as easy as carrying a laptop thus no issue packing it for travel.
Like all Airfree air purifier, there is only 1 control and is for the adjustable night light. You can adjust the light intensity or color via the touch control sensor. Other than that, it is the ultimate form of plug and play model.
With no other function to talk about, let’s quickly recap on its features. The air purifier is CARB certified ozone-free with 2 years warranty. It comes with passive safety tech to prevent any short-circuit. This includes Thermistor safety sensors, thermal fuse, tilt sensor, varistor, and current limiting.

Think about it as a bottle sterilizer but at a higher output. Airfree Lotus patented Thermodynamic TSS technology works in a similar fashion. The inner mini-ducts heats the air over 400°F (200°C), killing 99.99% of the allergens and microorganism in the process. Finally, the air will be cool off inside the machine so only cool, clean air will be flown back out. The whole purification is eco-friendly, emits no ion, and ozone (reduces ozone in fact). Thermodynamic TSS Technology is super effective against microorganisms including mildew, mold, and pollen. Same goes with allergens like bacteria and viruses that are normally hard to capture. Smoke and odor is not its strong suit but rest assured, it can still reduce its presence in the air.

Is not easy to find Airfree Lotus other than Amazon. If is indeed available, you can even get it at a much cheaper price than the retailers like Best Buy or Walmart. There is no official web store here but you can look up for nearby distributor from Airfree's website. If you want to save up more on the initial cost, consider the 3 alternatives below.
Airfree Lotus VS the challengers
Airfree Iris 3000
Cheaper price with the exact same purifying technology, coverage and airflow performance. You do have to give up on the opening flower petal design.
Airfree Onix 3000
Even cheaper with the same performance offering and TSS technology. Very identical to Onix 3000 but have to do with a fix "anti-stress" night light.
Honeywell AirGenius 5 HFD320
Technically a hybrid air purifier with a permanent filter that can be reused over and over again. If you want a more conventional purifying method that traps particles rather then boiling them, this is it.Final thoughts on Airfree Lotus
The only air purifier we reviewed with 100% positive feedback! Before you get overly excited, this is out of the 9 (YES 9) reviewers that gave it a 4-5 stars rating. They like the build quality (made in Europe), the "fun" night light, and completely silent operation. Perhaps what makes them really happy is the drop in allergy symptoms without the hassle filter replacing. Bring to a conclusion, Airfree Lotus is exactly what we would expect from it. No more, no less. If you are OK with the slow purifying time frame, this would do well.Verdicts and ratings
